Book Description
A pioneering music educator reveals how music can supercharge early childhood development--and how parents and educators can harness its power. Since opening her famed Parisian conservatory over three decades ago, Joan Koenig has led a global movement to improve children's lives and minds with the transformative power of music. With a curriculum and philosophy drawn from cutting-edge science, L'Ecole Koenig has educated and empowered even its youngest students, from baby Max, whose coordination and communication grow as he wiggles and coos along to targeted songs and dance, to five-year-old Constance, who nourishes her empathy, creativity, and memory while practicing music from other cultures. In The Musical Child, Koenig shares stories from her classrooms, along with tips about how to use the latest research during the critical years when children are most sensitive to musical exposure--and most receptive to its benefits. A gift for parents, caregivers, musicians, and educators, The Musical Child reveals the multiple ways music can help children thrive--and how, in the twenty-first century, its practice is more vital than ever.

Vivre et composer avec la dyslexie
Author: Agnès Idéale
Publisher:
ISBN: 9782367170404
Category :
Languages : fr
Pages : 92
Book Description
Cet ouvrage autobiographique aborde la thématique de la dyslexie en acte. Sous la forme de nouvelles indépendantes, il présente des anecdotes d'une vie où ce trouble de l'apprentissage s'invite pour semer un désordre. Chez l'ophtalmologue, à l'école, à la maison, cette petite fille bute, accroche, trébuche et souffre sur les mots qu'elle ne parvient pas à maîtriser, à dompter, à comprendre. Alors, régulièrement elle s'en arrange en masquant, mentant et détournant l'attention pour éviter de s'avouer qu'elle est en difficulté. Adolescente puis jeune adulte, les manifestations de sa dyslexie demeurent avec ses effets indirects destructeurs comme la mésestime, la culpabilité, le déni... Par compensation, elle parvient à réussir sur d'autres champs lui permettant parfois de trouver des satisfactions et des raisons de penser qu'elle peut envisager d'autres chemins. Un événement va venir bouleverser son existence. Il aura un impact significatif modifiant le regard, l'acceptation de soi, et des sentiments contradictoires face à ce trouble. En publiant sans pseudonyme (pour l'auteure), il s'agit d'un aveu décrit comme un moyen libératoire. A côté des ouvrages académiques sur la dyslexie, cet ouvrage est un récit offrant un regard émouvant et enrichissant sur les façons de vivre avec un trouble à dissimuler. Ce témoignage fera écho à des expériences de dyslexiques et pourra interroger les autres confrontés, sans forcément le savoir. à de bien curieuses attitudes de quelques personnes de leur entourage, qui semblent pourtant sans problème.

A History of Human Rights in Canada
Author: Janet Miron
Publisher: Canadian Scholars’ Press
ISBN: 1551303566
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Human rights, equality, and social justice are at the forefront of public concern and political debate in Canada. Global events--especially the "war on terrorism"―have fostered further interest in the abuse of human rights, especially when sanctioned or perpetuated by democratic governments. This groundbreaking contributed volume seeks to shed light on this topic by uniting original essays that examine the history of human rights in Canada. Contributors explore a variety of themes integral to the post-confederation period, including immigration and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, disability, state formation, and provincial-federal relations. Three key issues emerge throughout: incidents of discrimination in both government and society, the efforts of human rights and civil liberties activists to create a more open and tolerant society, and the implementation of state legislation designed to protect or enhance civil rights.
